Early life and education

Jackson White was born in March 1996 to actress Katey Sagal and Jack White (1954–2024),[3][1] and was raised back and forth from Los Angeles and Nashville. He has an older sister named Sarah and a younger half-sister named Esme.[4]

Before beginning a career in acting, he had considered doing music.[5] He stated in an interview that he was "really sh*t in high school" but was able to attend the University of Southern California by completing an audition.[4]

Career

White began his acting career in 2016, when he made his short film debut in Confession as Eric. White made his television debut in the coming-of-age romantic comedy film SPF-18 as Ash Baker.[6][7][8][9] White appeared as Aidan in the sitcom series The Middle,[10] and as Dave Medders in the military drama series SEAL Team.[11]

In 2019, White was cast to play the lead role of Brendan Fletcher in the comedy miniseries Mrs. Fletcher alongside Kathryn Hahn, Owen Teague and Cameron Boyce.[12][13][14]

In 2021, White starred with Kelsey Grammer, Julia Goldani Telles, Paris Jackson, Andy Daly and William Fichtner in the coming-of-age comedy film The Space Between, where he played the lead role as Charlie Porter.[15][16]

In 2022, White portrayed Officer Zach in the heist action thriller film Ambulance starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, a remake of the 2005 Danish film Ambulancen. The film premiered in Paris on March 20 and was theatrically released in the United States by Universal Pictures on April 8.[17][18]

White was cast as the lead role of Stephen DeMarco in the drama streaming series Tell Me Lies with Grace Van Patten,[19][20][21][22] based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Carola Lovering, which was released on Hulu on September 7, 2022.[23][24]

In 2023, White played the lead role of Jud Crandall in the supernatural horror film Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 23, 2023, which was followed by its streaming launch on Paramount+ on October 6.[25][26][27]

Personal life

Since 2022, White has been in a relationship with actress and Tell Me Lies co-star Grace Van Patten.[28][29]

In July 2024, White's father died. He posted a tribute online, stating, "This guy taught me everything. We had ups and downs, as a man has with their father. But in the end, it was just love. He was an open book, a fighter, genuinely the funniest person my sister and I knew, and single handedly invented the loudest most powerful back beat of any drummer I’ve ever seen. He’s not in pain anymore. And we get to remember him, 6 foot 4 with a denim shirt and a Starbucks muffin, driving us around, teaching us every important song ever written. I’m wearing his shoes every day. Not a metaphor he had really cool shoes. Big Jack White. 1954–2024. I love you dad forever."[30][31]
